Chapter Nine, Golden Mantis Scissors and Golden Ao Island

The vastness of the primordial world has passed several decades, and on this day, two Yin-Yang dragons unexpectedly blocked the path of Xu Siyuan and his companions

It is said that among the disciples who achieve great heights, there are notably many women, including the three great holy mothers and the three celestial maidens, all of whom are female

Xu Siyuan's expression remained unchanged. If it had been before, Xu Siyuan would certainly have been unable to deal with these two dragon-like creatures. However, having already been refined into the Golden Dragon Scissors, it would be unreasonable for Xu Siyuan to be unable to subdue them now

A sage taking on disciples is certainly not due to beauty

At this moment, Tongtian addressed all his disciples, saying: "Killing and fighting can only demonstrate temporary power; only the great Dao is boundless and can lead to eternity! You must diligently cultivate in the future and strive to become saints as soon as possible!"

Not achieving sainthood, one is but an ant before a saint

It is truly immense, so much so that Xu Siyuan can hardly find an adjective to describe it

Truly magnificent and boundless!

Is that all there is to it

Start!

Indeed, after eighty-one days, the two dragons disappeared without a trace, but in Tongtian's hand, there was an additional pair of golden scissors forged from the two dragons.

I did not expect the truth to be so simple

The master's forging skills have become increasingly impressive. After all, flattery costs nothing, Xu Siyuan enthusiastically praised his master.

Not long after the Holy Mother of Golden Spirit became a disciple, she was somewhat afraid of saying something wrong, so she simply chose not to speak at all

We respectfully follow the master's teachings! Several disciples bow in unison

Indeed, as expected of Tongtian, it is just so carefree and spontaneous

At this moment, the sun is about to set, and the sunset casts a light golden hue over the sea

Xu Siyuan had long known that Tongtian would establish a dojo in the East China Sea. As the only sage to set up a dojo on the sea, Xu Siyuan originally believed that Tongtian had his own profound intentions

What is the reason?" Tong Tian looked at Xu Siyuan with great interest.

Still, Tongtian believes that women's thoughts are simpler, and that his disciples can have fewer disputes

Only the golden dragonfly can be seen soaring in the air, moving up and down, with heads aligned like scissors and tails intertwined like strands, forming two segments in one sweep, utterly unstoppable

Xu Siyuan put away the Golden Mantis Scissors, and Tongtian offered it to himself; Xu Siyuan did not refuse. Although Xu Siyuan entered the sect early, his cultivation level was the lowest.

"Master, where are we going next?" Although I have left Kunlun Mountain many times, the thought that this time I would not be able to return left Duobao feeling somewhat at a loss

The sea that Xu Siyuan had seen in his previous life pales in comparison to the East China Sea before him, akin to the difference between a footbath and a lake

If you were to classify this golden beetle, what grade of treasure do you think it is?

One cannot tell whether to commend the Yin-Yang Dragon for its discernment or to criticize it for its blindness, as it specifically chose Tongtian, the strongest among them

I also believe it to be a superior innate spiritual treasure said the Holy Mother of the Turtle Spirit

Having spent so many years by the side of the sage, Xu Siyuan has not been idle

The path of Tongtian said: "This is the place, since it resembles Jin'ao, let us call you Jin'ao Island! From now on, this will be the dojo of my Jie Jiao!"

Xu Siyuan then said: "I believe it is a medium-grade innate spiritual treasure"

Looking down from the clouds, Tongtian saw an oddly shaped island that resembled a giant crab floating on the surface of the sea

Tongtian replied: "Kunlun is a mountain, so we shall go to the sea. Kunlun is in the west, thus we shall head east, and in this way, we will reach the East Sea"

Tong Tian said to Xu Siyuan: "In the world, treasures are not categorized below the innate level. Above the innate level, spiritual treasures are divided into three grades: lower grade, middle grade, and upper grade innate spiritual treasures. Above the innate spiritual treasures are the innate supreme treasures, and above the innate supreme treasures are the chaotic spiritual treasures and chaotic supreme treasures."

Only these two dragons opened their large mouths and charged towards Tongtian, seemingly intending to feast on him

"Good baby!" Xu Siyuan and others could not help but exclaim.

It is a complete domination

At this moment, Tongtian's gaze pierced through layers of void, and he smiled, saying, "We are almost at the East Sea."

Xu Siyuan calmly focused his mind, invoking the celestial techniques of the Supreme Clarity, and within the sea of consciousness, he severed the malevolent thoughts of the dragon

A single word was gently uttered from the mouth of Tongtian, and instantly, the two dragon heads were frozen in the void

It is interesting, interesting indeed, that at the very beginning of the creation of heaven and earth, a dragon formed from the interplay of yin and yang could live for such a long time. Do you wish to take me as your master?

The primordial wilderness is boundless, and the ocean is also vast and limitless

Xu Siyuan wielded the Golden Mantis Scissors, aiming at a distant mountain peak

Tongtian has unexpectedly begun refining treasures directly

Seeing Xu Siyuan deep in thought, Tongtian signaled the other disciples with his eyes to respond

This is Tongtian's test for Xu Siyuan, and Xu Siyuan does not dare to answer lightly

It seems that you have diligently studied the art of weapon forging passed down by your second master uncle! Tongtian said with some emotion: This Golden Dragon Scissors is a gift for you. With this treasure by your side, it will be more convenient for you to traverse the wilderness in the future

At this moment, true fire appeared in Tongtian's hand, and if one got closer to Tongtian, one could still hear the tragic cries of two ancient flood dragons

Looking at the Golden Mantis Scissors he had crafted, Tongtian was quite satisfied. After playing with it for a moment, he handed the Golden Mantis Scissors to Xu Siyuan, saying, "You give it a try"

It is quite remarkable that they have survived since ancient times; it would be a pity to kill them. Let us use the two of you to refine some treasures.

The heavenly vehicle soared through the clouds, swiftly bringing Xu Siyuan and others to the shores of the East China Sea

Xu Siyuan speculated that this treasure from Tongtian Lian should be the Golden Dragon Scissors

Tongtian smiled, and the disappointment of being forced to leave the mountain was no longer visible on his face. As for what Tongtian thought in his heart, no one knew.

Originally, I thought your creation was not easy, but it turns out you are merely seeking your own demise

Those two ferocious dragons can at least challenge a quasi-saint, but in the hands of a saint, they are utterly powerless

The sage embodies heaven and earth; to go against the sage is to go against heaven and earth. When heaven and earth are displeased, naturally there is no spiritual power to be harnessed

With a single palm, the sage can cover the heavens and the earth. Just as Sun Wukong cannot escape from the Five Finger Mountain of Tathagata, this dragon naturally cannot escape from the hand of the one who reaches the sky

Set!

Xu Siyuan looked at the Golden Mantis Scissors again and explained: "The power of the Golden Mantis Scissors can definitely be compared to that of a top-grade innate spiritual treasure, but spiritual treasures are not solely for the purpose of killing. The Golden Mantis Scissors are a weapon for slaughter but lack the essence of the Dao, making it difficult to use for the purpose of harboring one's obsessions. A top-grade innate spiritual treasure does not necessarily have to be extremely powerful, but it must be capable of harboring one's obsessions and severing the three corpses"

Is it truly all fate? Are those who really find Kunlun Mountain all women?

When Tongtian allowed Xu Siyuan to test the treasure, everyone speculated that Tongtian would give him the Golden Mantis Scissors, and no one thought it was inappropriate

The peaks of Baishi Mountain, severed with a single cut

Xu Siyuan also collected some treasures that Tongtian looked down upon along the way

This was also Xu Siyuan's first time witnessing the actions of a sage. The sage's actions were simple and unadorned, yet every move embodied the great Dao, carrying the might of heaven

Currently, there are few disciples; in the future, when there are more disciples, even an abundance of treasures will not be considered excessive

Duobao smiled without speaking, while the Holy Mother of No-Danger remarked: "I have previously witnessed two great practitioners from the Purple Cloud Palace engaging in a battle of magical powers. Their treasures seemed inferior to the Golden Mantis Scissors. I believe the Golden Mantis Scissors are a superior innate spiritual treasure"

Since it is forged from the dragon, let us call you the Golden Dragon Scissors

With a gentle point of the finger, a vacuum appeared around the Yin-Yang dragon, leaving no trace of the world's spiritual energy for them to absorb

With an outstretched hand, Tongtian grasped two ancient flood dragons in his grip

Xu Siyuan held back for a long time and finally could only sigh inwardly: East China Sea, you are truly nothing but water!

Xu Siyuan took the Golden Dragon Scissors, and immediately a surge of malevolent thoughts surged forth; it was the roar of the dragon, the anger and resentment of the evil dragon

Moreover, Xu Siyuan's current spirit is not weak either

However, these two powerful dragons possess low intelligence, and over the years, they have become accustomed to their arrogance, unaware of the might of the heavens.

Xu Siyuan had not yet had his fill of watching before the outcome was determined

Whether it is the Buddhist concept of the Buddha Land in the palm or the Daoist idea of the universe in the sleeve, both encapsulate the vastness of space within a mustard seed

Tongtian mentioned going to the East Sea, and naturally, the others had no objections, so the six master and disciples headed eastward.

Xu Siyuan did not know that a sage is a sage, forever inscrutable

The setting sun has also cast a layer of golden hue over the island

However, Tongtian walked very slowly. Along the way, in addition to guiding a few disciples, Tongtian did not forget to collect some heavenly materials and earthly treasures.
